Now all this talk about long range missiles and drone strikes is just a whole lot of coward talk. Back in my day, when I was in my prime, we charged those beaches in France like men. Like men determined to end evil. Men who knew they were charging into certain death, but they still had to because someone had to end the evil that was lurking in the shadows of Europe. Now mind you I’m saying evil, meaning those bastards in the Reich who thought they were superior to others, and could just wipe out entire people.
War… War is hell. But no … No no. War ain’t no hell. Hell is where sinners and bad folks go and get the punishment they deserve. Now in war … sinners get punished on both sides, but so do innocents. No! War ain’t no hell. War is worse than hell. When I walked through the gates of Dachau, which was one of the biggest concentration camps in Nazi Deutschland, I saw what no other man should. As we walked, there were just piles and piles of bodies stacked on either side of the path. Innocent women, children, old folks lying dead and freezing. Decaying with a rotten smell that spread across miles. They couldn’t burn them faster before we got there, so they would just kill them. Hundreds of them. This is what war gets you. It’s more than explosions, guns, and medals. It’s hell. Worse than hell.
Now you would think we were saints in the war, but no! That’s far from the truth. You know what we did after we found the guards who had already surrendered? We killed them. It wasn’t war at that point. It was cold blooded murder and unethical. I guess ethics go out that window when we’re talking about war. There was so much senseless waste of life on every side. It sure is worse than hell I’ll tell you that much.
All this talk about a war with Iran is bull-fucking-shit. Even after all this we’re still going back to another one? It’s true what they say: those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Now the inner patriot in me is always ready to die for his country, but the situation seems much deeper than “we’re going to war against evil.” We’re the ones who are creating the evil. Now I’m in no place to say that there is some similar funky business going on in Iran as it was in Nazi Germany, but acting on no evidence? Now that’s funky business on our side. In a meeting with the senators and congressmen, the president explained the circumstances and every single one of the congressmen said that they weren’t satisfied by the reasons. We laid down our lives on the beaches for something that meant so much to others, and if you can’t even convince a group of 100 people, how do you expect the whole country to face the horrors that come along with war?
